Baja Fresh

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2011

The first thing to note about this Mexican eatery is its location inside one of Dubai Mall’s two food courts. This isn’t exactly conducive to a relaxed meal with friends, and can be quite stressful on busier weekends when screaming children run riot. But unruly kids aside, it’s worth noting the food is in fact a step up from some of the city’s other, more fast-foody Mexican eateries, such as those on Jumeirah Beach Residence’s The Walk. The food, from the salad to the vegetables in the quesadilla certainly tastes far fresher, and the meat, particularly the chicken, is without doubt vastly more palatable. It’s also a little pricier than your average food court meal – approximately double that of a McDonalds. However, if you make the right choices, it can also be a healthier option.

We don't go to the restaurant itself, but instead get it delivered to our apartment. The food always comes fresh, hot, and most importantly delicious!! I think the timeout review is not right! I would recommend Baja Fresh to everyone who is looking for good, fresh Mexican at a good price.

As a Californian, I am very familiar with Baja Fresh. The service in the Dubai Mall Baja Fresh is very good, friendly and accommodating. The food is good. It is a fast-food option and the reviewers should evaluate it as such and not as a sit-down restaurant. It's nice to have some Mexican food in Dubai as an alternative to Maria Bonita.

I think the writer of this piece is misleading the readers and giving lies with their reviews and is such an insult and embarrasment to the PRESS world. when i was there, i check my reciept and i did not see any 10 percent service charge as it was indicated above. i have my coke with free refill for 7 dirhams which i think is a good price for a fastfood. The service is good, friendly staff even if you can see that they are all tired but still you can see smiles even though sometimes i have noticed that there are stupid customers ordering but you can see them very patient. I would come back to this place for sure. try their Burrito Ultimo with steak its the best one. and for those who want to eat good food, of course you need to spend money fools.

In places with proper Mexican food, Baja Fresh is a Starbucks-like quick fix that no one would compare to the real thing. But in Dubai, it's the best burrito at the right price. Maria Bonita is ok, but over priced. Go here if you want a decent representation of California style Mexican street food, because a good burrito/taco/torta is the California equivalent of a good slice or bagel in NYC.
